I seem  to remember hearing a theory that it is the unhomogenized
quality of human  milk that is the key: when the fat is let down
towards the end of   feeding, the baby feels full and stops eating.

That would only be true for wide spaced feedings. In frequent feedings the
milk will be fatty from start on, because the fatglobules do not have the time
to store themselves on the sinuswalls.
I think it is the composition of the milk (not the individual components,
but rather the combination) along with the selfregulation. In frequent, child
led feeds an infants stomach is never overfull, there is no means of
overeating and creating bad habits of overfeeding.

Warmly,
